The first of ICOM Simulations' MacVenture Adventure Games, Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!!, originally released in 1985 for the Apple Macintosh, was the first Adventure Game with a fully mouse-driven interface. The game is in the mode of '40s film noir, and begins with you waking up in a toilet stall in a dive bar with a raging headache and amnesia. Who are you, what happened to you, and why's there a dead body upstairs?Originally featuring 2-bit black-and-white graphics, later releases of the game, such as the port for the Nintendo Entertainment System, would use color graphics instead.A sequel, Déjà Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas, was released in 1988.Not to be confused with the 2006 film starring Denzel Washington.The first game was also included as part of a Compilation Rerelease titled 8-bit Adventures: Volume 1 for PlayStation 4 and Steam on Oct. 31, 2017. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In the first game, there's a literal gun hanging in front of you in the first screen. It's a murder weapon you'll eventually have to get rid of in order to win the game. In the second, Stogie Martin's cigar rings he leaves everywhere become important. You'll have to plant one in an incriminating location to set off an Enemy Civil War. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Ace Harding's preferred brand of cigarettes (in the non-NES versions) is Lucky Strike. These are depicted with a white package with a red circle logo. However, until late-1942 (the games take place in December 1941 and 1942 next year) Lucky Strike's packaging was green, making this an anachronism. Technically speaking, organized crime didn't own or control any casinos in Las Vegas until 1946, also making the casino of the second game being a front for the mafia an anachronism. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: It will take a lot of tries for you to get the good ending. For example, entering your office at the wrong time or offering a homeless person a lit match will get you killed without warning. | |

It's Always Sunny in Miami | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_2bd34117 | comment |
It's Always Sunny in Miami: The first game supposedly takes place in Chicago right after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor (which places the timeline as December 7th, 1941). Yet, there's no indication that it's winter and everyone is dressed for warm weather. Makes sense, as in real life it was unseasonably warm for Chicago for that time of the year. | |

Wrongful Accusation Insurance | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_2fbab42f | comment |
Wrongful Accusation Insurance: You have to commit numerous crimes in the game in order to prove you are not guilty of kidnapping and murder, including burglary, breaking and entering, and assault. The game doesn't imply you will ever face consequences for those. However, if you kill anyone with the syringe (which, unlike shooting them, won't get you arrested immediately), you will get arrested when you go the police station at the end to try to prove your innocence. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The GBC version treats part II as an Immediate Sequel. Beating part I leads directly to the next game, following an interstitial cutscene of Ace getting roughed up by mafia goons and brought to Las Vegas very shortly after he regained his memory and cleared his name. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: In the first game, even if you do get your memory back and uncover the plot to frame you for murder, Sternwood and Vickers planted more than enough false evidence to make sure you'll look like the more likely suspect if you go to the police. Fortunately, you can dispose of the false evidence against you. If you don't get rid of all of the planted false evidence against you, then even if you have all the evidence you need to prove Sternwood and Vickers' guilt, it will be you who will be convicted and not Sternwood and Vickers (in theory at least. In practice, in several versions of the game (including the mac original) all you actually have to do is properly dispose of the murder weapon). You have to do one yourself in the second game. You are trapped in the basement of the rival crime gang's laundromat business front. If you cut your bonds and escape out the front door, the thugs will quickly track you down and kill you. But if you cut your bonds, open the front door, and then go back and hide in the basement, the thugs will think you've escaped, and run out to look for you, giving you free reign to explore the laundromat and uncover clues and evidence. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the second game, you can break all the windows you want. Now try and vandalize the police station. We dare you. If you try to shoot any of the two muggers in the first game, they both result in game overs. The gun-toting mugger will shoot you before you can pull the trigger, since he already has his gun out. As for the brute, see Crime of Self-Defense above. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin': You can be in the most far-off parts of the game world, but shooting someone will always result in being arrested, even in a spot that explicitly states that the police avoid! Except in one instance where you have to. Though if you use the syringe to kill, you won't get arrested until you go to the police. | |

Extreme Omnivore: Ace can eat many things that people aren't supposed to eat, including quarters, keys, twenty dollar bills, pieces of paper (hope you didn't need that as evidence), and even bullets. You can reload your revolver by simply eating the spent casings, then popping in 6 new rounds. He can basically wolf down any object as long as its mass is smaller than a certain threshold. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Due to a rather awful last minute glitch, you'll probably need a guide to determine just what evidence to keep and what to ditch. Dispose of everything except the diary (motive), the ransom note (method), and the memo with the timetable (corroborates the other two). This is made easier in the NES version in which when throwing away stuff in the sewer, it won't let you throw away any evidence you need so you can just throw everything except those items. You have to dispose of: Gun 1, the murder weapon with your fingerprints on it. Map, a fake set of instructions on how to kidnap Mrs. Sternwood. Note 1, an IOU giving you a motive. File 5, a fake proposal for you to carry out the kidnapping in exchange for being let off the IOU. However, the game won't let you dispose of Gun 1 if you haven't used it to shoot open the bungalow, the doctor's cabinet, and the hitman in your office. In the case of the doctor's cabinet, you can actually get stuck if you use a guide: you only need to open the cabinet to find out what medicine to take. If you already know the medicine name, you can just take it and skip that part. But skipping that part means you can't dispose of the gun because the game thinks you need to do it and won't let you dispose of the gun until you do. In the first game, shooting another person will always result in game over... except for the one time when you have to. There is also exactly one lock that can be blown open with a gun. All the others require the correct key. | |

If you try to shoot any of the two muggers in the first game, they both result in game overs. The gun-toting mugger will shoot you before you can pull the trigger, since he already has his gun out. As for the brute, see Crime of Self-Defense above. | |

Luckily, it's nigh impossible to completely run out of money in either one, and the blackjack table in part II has an easy way to drastically improve your odds by proving to the dealer that you're an old buddy of his. | |

Not With the Safety On, You Won't | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_7a2a34ef | comment |
Not With the Safety On, You Won't: The reason you're relatively safe around the gun-toting mugger. He'll catch on eventually, though... The mugger is clearly using a revolver (which lacks a safety), and the game tells you after the third attempt that you're dealing with a bluff artist (though he WILL shoot you the fourth time). The only options that don't result in death are to either punch him (works three times) or give him some money. He'll be happy to leave with just a quarter. | |

Politically Correct History | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: Even before cigarettes were censored to gum in the international NES versions, smoking in the original game will have the narration mention how you will probably get cancer, and consulting your file in the doctor's office shows that the doc is trying to get you to stop. In the second game, you can find a pack of cigarettes, but offering them to other people in the second game will cause them to mention how they don't smoke, and/or how someone will find out that smoking will kill you. While in the 1940s, smoking was starting to be seen as unhealthy, it didn't have the widespread social stigma it does today. | |

Las Vegas is in the state of Nevada, which never used that method of execution but rather the gas chamber at the time Deja Vu 2 is set (1941-42). | |

Luck-Based Mission: In all of the versions except for the NES and GBC of the first game, it is possible that the police will drive by and arrest you while you are walking around, naturally this gets you convicted and ends your game in a loss, Unless you cure your amnesia and get all the evidence you need and dispose of all of the bad evidence against you, because if you get arrested while walking but your memory is restored, you got all the evidence you need, and you get rid of all the bad evidence against you, then you win instead. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_c1cef253 | comment |
Nice Mean And In Between: The three blackjack dealers. Rudy Kowalski is Ace's friend and will help him win if he can prove it, Ziggie Schwarz complains that he's been running cold all night, and Junior Lewis mostly has a blank expression and doesn't say anything special in particular. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: At the end of your first encounter with him (where you happen to be unfortunately disrobed), Stogie remarks that he'd never seen anyone wearing purple underwear before. Hey, at least he didn't call you "Calvin". If you look at the frying pan in the first game, you'll get a message that's a parody of one of Nancy Sinatra's songs: The sequel lists Ace Harding's address as 1060 West Addison, Chicago Illinois. This is the real-life address of Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. This might also be a reference to The Blues Brothers where Elwood gives that as a fake address. The girl who gave Ace his first kiss was named Suzy Q. The Sternwoods' Big Fancy House is explicitly said to look like Tara from Gone with the Wind. This movie may be a bit of a Running Joke with ICOM Simulations, since their game Uninvited contains a female ghost who looks like Scarlett O'Hara. | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight: Walking around outside might get you accosted by a gun-toting mugger. Fortunately, you can scare him off by punching him in the face (though eventually this'll stop working.) If you try to shoot him, he's faster, which makes sense since he's pointing his gun in your face already. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Déjà Vu (1985) (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: At one point, you'll gain access to a doctor's office, and all manner of drugs, from heart murmur medication to nerve gas antidote. Said medications have rather lethal side effects for anyone who does not have heart murmurs or nerve gas poisoning. You can apply them to any character who will hold still long enough for you to jab the syringe into them. Yep. Best of all, this doesn't draw the attention of the cops, so you can potentially go around murdering multiple characters with no immediate consequences. It does prevent you from getting the good ending, though, as you are immediately condemned as "a dangerous lunatic armed with a loaded syringe" the moment you try to clear your name. There is one line the game doesn't let you cross. The game doesn't allow you to "operate self on unconscious prostitute." Trying will get you a short flashback to a memory of Ace being disciplined by Father O'Malley and how he can't bring himself to do it, because religion has "done its job." | |
